Well I think I've figured out why some of my pgms won't wrk on Vista. I've  
learned that Vista upgraded to 32 bit while most of old pgms are 16 bit and  
incompatible with Vista. I'm wondering if that's not the reason I cannot use  
K3LR's cluster from our website.
 
I number of yrs ago I had purchased DX Telnet with the understanding it was  
free for life including all upgrades. I was informed to upgrade to the 32 bit  
version it would cost $20. I'm feeling ripped off. He would hv to upgrade his 
 progam no matter what to remain viable. So while it still runs on my XP 
laptop I  think I'll pass at his attempt for a second bite of the apple.
 
Many tnx to all who responded to my plight.
 
Now I'm soliciting suggestions for my next project...................
 
I hv several pieces of nr 16 stranded copper wire which are oxidized  that 
I'm attempting to solder together.
 
I guess I could spread the wires out and try and use sandpaper,but I don't  
hv faith that I'll be able to get a good connection. Does anyone know of a  
liquid that will work ??  Would something like Copper Brite wrk ?? The  thought 
has crossed my mind that a workable solution might leave a residue which  would 
also prevent a good connection and that something else might hv to be  
applied before soldering.
 
Has anyone run into this problem ??
 
With VK9W coming on next wk and 3C the week after I hope to be ready but hv  
much antenna repair wrk to due first....................
 
Mny Tnx to all..........................................
